Will Real Estate Agents Be Replaced By Technology- EP 127

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to duke it over whether or not real estate agents are replaceable with technology? Technology can help agents, but it can also hurt agents. Tune in for the full conversation!

 

Episode Highlights:

• Jenn wants to have in the house a way that there can be a hologram or something that can tell you from the homeowner’s point of view why they loved living there or something that we as relators can’t say.
• There are people buying houses virtually in the virtual world, but Jenn doesn’t think that replaces real estate agents. As real estate agents, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about technology because it’s happening.
• Artificial intelligence has become more advanced, but it can’t replace the psychology degree we need to get a client to the finish line. There’s such a human aspect to this business, says Monica.
• You could research a lot before you even started selling your house and prevent some last-minute hiccups that we all know, suggests Monica. 
• There are things in our world that can be improved, and as a group of people overall, Jenn thinks we all are a little too stuck with how things have always been done, and that is a mistake.
• Matt Lionetti, joins the conversation as a tiebreaker; He is a real estate agent with the brokerage called The Agency Re.
• One can buy any piece of clothing online, but many still always go to the mall because there are some things that people are always going to want with human interaction, says Matt.
• The advancement in technology will get dicey when you need some real-time specific answers, says Matt.
• Real estate agents will have to have a master’s degree in psychology if everything goes tech-based, and also, a lot of people don’t understand managing emotions.
• As technology grows with every benefit, there are also disadvantages. So we need to find out what we do for the public and ourselves, says Jenn.
• There was so much talk a couple of years ago about how robots could replace teachers, and this pandemic has taught us more than anything that people want to send their kids to school for human interaction.
• With technology, we are not going to do inspections anymore. Instead, it will have a drone go through for inspection, and many people have started doing all things online like sell, purchase, or agreements, says Matt.

 

3 Key Points:

1. There is a lot of a real estate agent's job that technology can’t take away, not just being like the psychologist, but like the relationships of knowing each other too, says Jenn.
2. Things are already changing and going more tech-based, but as per Matt, the tiebreaker of this episode, people will always want that human interaction.
3. It feels like the world is becoming smaller in the real world, and people realize, especially with COVID, that they can do their job, which they thought they had to be there, could do from anywhere, says Jenn.
